Mountain Bike Rider | October 2022
FIRST RIDES
We ride the new Whyte T-140 RS, YT Capra 29 Core 2, and Mondraker Crafty R with Bosch e-bike ABS brakes.
BIKE TEST: GREAT BRITISH BIKE OFF!
With Brexit, global supply problems and inflation bumping up prices and slowing delivery times, bikes made right here in the UK look ever more appealing. We test a carbon Hope, alloy Orange and steel Cotic.
TESTED: TRAIL FORKS
The best 120-140mm travel forks for trail and down-country bikes, ridden and rated: Fox 34 Float Factory GRIP2, RockShox Pike Ultimate, Suntour Durolux 36 EQ RC2, Marzocchi Bomber Z2 Rail, and Öhlins RXF34 m.2 on test.
SKILLS: GRADIENT
Dirt School shows us how to smooth out complicated bits of trail, swap gravity for grip, and make the control you have on rowdy sections feel more consistent and predictable.
